ACTEON Aciitus. 



TAB. CCCCLV.— /^. 2. 



Spec Char. Subcylindrical, smooth ; spire 

 conical, acute ; one plait upon the columella. 



GrENERALLY Smaller, and not so perfectly cylindrical as 

 the preceding, because the spire is not so much concealed, 

 and because it is more tapered towards the base ; the 

 aperture occupies about three fourths of the whole 

 length. 



Small specimens of this do not at first sight appear 

 much related to the A. cuspidatus, they are so much more 

 pointed at both ends, but an examination of the columella, 

 and form of the aperture, soon point out their connection. 

 They occur together at AnclifFe.
